Virgin Trains, West Midlands Trains and Transport for Wales currently operate services along the routes.

An additional hourly service calling at Wellington, Telford, Shifnal, Cosford and Wolverhampton will now operate during off-peak hours on Mondays to Saturdays.

A new hourly Sunday service between Birmingham and Shrewsbury has been introduced calling at all stations between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. The two-hourly Transport for Wales service between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury has been withdrawn.

Trains to Shrewsbury are set to continue to depart Birmingham until about 22:30 on weekdays and 23:00 on Saturdays.

Further changes to timings of the Birmingham to Shrewsbury direction services are planned in December to provide an improved spacing of services.
